Geez halfevildruid, there’s drool all over this thread…can we get someone in here to clean this mess up, ha!


Were going to kick off some basic info this week and well keep adding more as we progress.

Time Line: We are working on it fast and furious but still need more time to wrap things up. As always ASAP! We want it to be perfect before you guys get a hold of it :)

Price: Were still working on this, but expect it to be under $150

At this stage it looks like production models will be ready to ship in about 5-6 weeks. If this changes for better or worse, well keep you updated.

At some point in the near future there will be a limited number of prototypes going out as test loaners for people to try and give us feedback.


The ProVari will let you select voltages from 3.3volts to 6.0volts in 0.1 set increments (3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6...all the way up to 6.0volts).


It outputs a pulsed regulated voltage so every hit will be the same from start to finish regardless of if the battery is fresh off the charger or 70% used.


The ProVari houses a single 18500 battery with an option to purchase an extension tube that threads onto to the end and will take a 18650 battery.


We don’t have pictures just yet of the device, but well post those as we get closer.


The push button will have a frosted look and be semi transparent allowing you to see the indicator LED. The LED will alert you to the battery power left.

Green – Full battery

Yellow – Half way through battery

Red – Low, change battery soon


You will be able to toggle the LED ON/OFF for stealth mode.

You can turn the device off so no misfires in the pocket

Well keep you posted when more info is available as to the way you select the voltages and other features as they are available.

Answers to some of your questions:

Doesn’t a single battery only output 3.7volts?

We are using a special boost circuit that is able to pulse current at a very fast rate and bump up the voltage very efficiently.


Does the device need to be plugged into my computer to change voltages?

No, everything can be done on the device and there will be no computer connections. In a couple of weeks we will get into more details about how you change voltages and access the functions.


What about batteries?

The batteries we carry are the IMR High drain AW 18500 (actually they call it 18490) – 1100 Mah and the 18650 – 1600mah.


Can I use regular 18500/18650 not the High Drain batteries?

Yes, but in order to get the full voltage range you will need to use the high drain cell. Both of the cells we will offer will be IMR high drains.



What about non-IMR batteries?

Looks like the range for a regular non IMR battery will be 3.3V-5.2V. If you want to use the 5.3v-6v range you need to have an IMR high drain battery.


Stay tuned, there's a lot more to come…. :)
 
That ProVari, sounds like the winner for us HV mod folks.

I loved my PS Prodigy V1 until the switch failed twice. I went to the manual switch XHaler & PS V3, but hate the maintenance issues. I loved my Chuck, until I lost it a couple of months back, electronic switch, worked all the time, but I wish I could have cut the voltage a tad.

Put me on your proto list for the ProVari, I can definitely give proper feedback. I have been an HV user for almost 2 years, including DIY mods out of flashlights and battery boxes. I now leave it to the pros to make this stuff, but I would like to get one that just works everytime I push the button, doesn't seem like too much to ask for.

Paul
